Cherry Blossom Festival 2018

Today was the first day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, so I headed down to the wishing well to check it out. Animals are eating, drinking, laughing, and dancing…as pink cherry blossoms fall from the sky.

Tortimer wasn’t here at the moment, but he showed up later.

Sydney and Hank sat at one table, Static and Candi sat at the other table, and Belle was the dancing freak this year. 😛

Hank: So how're you liking the festival so far? Hey, see that animal dancing like a freak over there, Jeff?

Belle: If you wanna dance, what you oughta do is check out some of the blossoms first.Belle: That'll make you all happy, and that will totally make you wanna shake your groove thang, in a tutu!

Static was having a good time, and Candi offered me some sandwiches.

Static: Ah, this is so much fun! Gaar har har har!

Candi: Wanna try some sandwiches?

In addition to the music at the festival, the regular hourly tunes are also jazzed up a bit. It’s definitely an enjoyable time of year to play the original Animal Crossing. 🙂

When I ran into Emerald, she was sad that she hasn’t been able to catch a snail yet. Poor froggy.

Emerald: What? Really? Because I just can't catch one single snail for the life of me!

Then, at the town garbage dump, I found myself a toilet! Why would someone put this here? Maybe they wanted to take a dump in the dump.

Sadly, Egbert has already moved out of town. But I met his replacement, and he’s pretty cool too. It’s Cube the penguin; I like how he wears a GameCube shirt.

Cube: Boy howdy! Do you live here in town, too, d-d-dude?

Genji asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “right here,” so I told him to say “on a bun.”

Genji: If you win, I'll give you one of my priceless collectables, on a bun.

I was chatting with Baabara on a bridge, and she asked me what I thought about Cube…as Cube was standing right behind me! Was she trying to get me in trouble? 😛 I told her Cube was a nice person.

Baabara: I was just seeing how likable Cube is. Soooo... how about Cube? Any feelings there?Close-up of Cube's eyes looking on.

I hope you all enjoy the festival! It runs through Saturday (April 7th), so check it out for yourself if you can. If you’d like to see an old video of the event, here’s one I recorded three years ago:
